49ers WR Edwards active; Browns RB Hillis out

That game-decision has been made: 49ers wide receiver Braylon Edwards is active today against the Browns after missing the previous four games following knee surgery.

Edwards, who was listed as questionable on the injury report, will play against his former team, but it’s expected that Michael Crabtree and Ted Ginn will be the starting wideouts. Edwards and Kyle Williams will be the other wide receivers on the roster as Brett Swain is one of the Niners’ seven inactives.

* Browns running back Peyton Hills will miss his second straight game due to a hamstring injury. Hillis will be replaced by Montario Hardesty, who had 95 yards on 33 carries in last week’s 6-3 win against Seattle.
